Introducing the GRS Super Joystick IKARI WARRIORS EDITION

Ever since the golden era of arcades, iconic games like the SNK Ikari Warriors series, Data East Midnight Resistance, SNK T.N.K III, and Taito Front Line Arcade have captured the imagination of players in the 1980s. Especially memorable is the legendary Ikari Warriors, a game that holds a nostalgic place in the hearts of countless gamers. Until now, it was challenging to fully recapture the magic of the original rotary joystick gameplay. But today, at Glen's Retro Show and Thunderstick Studio, we're changing that.

 

 

We're beyond excited to present the GRS Super Joystick, a product of our dedication to rekindling those precious gaming memories. In a monumental leap, we've collaborated with SNK and secured the official license of Ikari Warriors, integrating it as a key feature of our product. But that's not all. We've brought the experience full circle, creating an exclusive limited-edition package that isn't just a joystick but a piece of gaming history. 

When you unbox the GRS Super Joystick, you'll be met with the iconic Ikari Warriors imagery adorning our unique packaging. It's not just about aesthetics. Our team has innovated the packaging to include a control panel-shaped rig box with pre-drilled holes. Users can easily pop off these holes to assemble the high-quality arcade buttons and the GRS Super Joystick onto the rig box, transforming the packaging into a fully functional control panel. That's right. Your packaging becomes part of your gaming experience, complete with licensed artwork from the Ikari Warriors arcade cabinet, ready for use with iconic arcade games requiring rotary functions.

 

This limited-edition GRS Super Joystick Ikari Warriors edition aims to recreate and enhance the original gaming experience. It incorporates state-of-the-art technology like Hall Sensors, Hybrid USB Protocols, and Software-Defined Joystick Control Key Values. The joystick is designed to be user-friendly, requiring no technical knowledge, and offers a plug-and-play solution suitable for both veteran gamers and newcomers.

The GRS Super Joystick is not just suitable for retro games but is a powerhouse optimized for contemporary gaming experiences, creating a bridge between generations of gamers.

TS-RJConfigurator Software: 


The TS-RJConfigurator is a specialized application designed for the GRS Super Joystick, intended for use on Windows PC(x86).

We're continually enhancing and optimizing the product and will be releasing periodic firmware updates to meet the evolving needs of our users.

Key Features include:

  1. Keyboard Mode Customization: Users can macro-define the key values triggered by the rotary knob's actions, including clockwise rotation, counter-clockwise rotation, pulling up, and pushing down.
  2. Mouse Mode Adjustments: Users can specify mouse movement modes by toggling between the x-axis and y-axis.
  3. Mouse Movement Customization in Mouse Mode: The distance triggered by the rotary knob's rotation can be adjusted, aligning the knob's output with traditional spinner movements.
  4. Joystick Orientation Customization: Allows adjustments to the joystick directional orientation at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°.

Good product.

I received your product safely today.
I would like to use it for 3D thunder ceptor 2.
I'm really looking forward to it.

I really want to like these things

I bought two of them and one of them out of the box was DOA. The wire from the stick to base had to be replaced. Support was pretty good about walking me through the process but now the sticks won't show up in the configuration software to adjust the orientation. The hardware and kit are nice, but the setup has been nothing short of a pain.

Works like a charm in the arcade cabinet

I was looking for a replacement stick for our arcade cabinet and this stick worked like a charm. I had some challenges figuring out the MODE/WAY button, as it does not immediately change with a short press as it does in the example videos. But otherwise, it was easy to set up and get going in MAME. I wish it worked well in other MAME versions, but that is an emulator issue. Altogether a great purchase, and I'll be picking up another to drop into the second player slot so we can finally play so of these games the way they were meant to be played.

Bought 2 at the same time. Excellent quality. My first shot at entry level retro arcade. Thank you so much. Brings back a lot of memories. Love to see a track ball version. Keep up the great work.
Gamers, game on for life!
